AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pursuant to Resolution No. 00-867, adopted September 28, 2000, the City Commission approved the
establishment of a Housing and Commercial Loan Committee ("HCLC") with authority to approve
certain housing and commercial loans or grants to be provided by the City through various State and
Federal funding sources.
The authority and composition of the Housing and Commercial Loan Committee was amended by the
City Commission by Resolution 02-14 adopted January 10, 2002, Resolution No. 03-993, adopted
September 11, 2002, and Resolution 04-0156, adopted March 11, 2004; and Ordinance No. 13030
adopted on October 16, 2008, to include, among other duties, the approval of local affordable housing
incentive strategies.
The HCLC serves as the City of Miami's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee ("AHAC") as required
by F.S. Chapter 420.9072.
The HCLC's role as an advisory committee, pursuant to Florida Statute 420.9076, is to review the
established policies and procedures, ordinances, land development regulations and the adopted local
government comprehensive plan and to recommend specific actions.
Effective February 21, 2008 the AHAC, in compliance with Rule 67-371.010, must approve the
affordable housing incentive strategy recommendations every three (3) years.
On November 18, 2015, the HCLC recommended continuing the following affordable housing
incentive strategies which are currently offered by the City:
1. Expedited permitting,
2. Reduction of parking and Setback Requirements;
3. Impact -Fee DeferralANaiver;
4. Allowance of Flexibility in Densities and Intensities; i.e. Floor Area ratio;
5. Review of Legislation, policies and Plans that impact Affordable Housing.
The City Administration recommends the approval of the affordable housing incentives strategies as
recommended by the HCLC.
